Harvesters are harvested from summer to autumn, with short operating hours and long parking times throughout the four seasons. If management is not taken seriously, their service life can be directly shortened. Therefore, storing harvesters requires "six precautions".
1. Due to the different types and models of harvesters, some machines may be larger and require special storage to prevent sun exposure and night dew. Some operators are afraid of trouble and try to save time by only setting up simple canopies to cover them. When exposed to wind and rain, the machine may be damaged to varying degrees. As the saying goes, if you can afford a machine cover, you can afford a warehouse. Only by properly storing it can you use it well. Therefore, regardless of the model of harvester, a dedicated warehouse should be covered as much as possible.
2. After harvesting every quarter, the soil, broken grass, grain, and other debris inside and outside the harvester should be thoroughly removed, and the inside and outside of the harvester should be washed clean with pressurized water. After drying, they should be stored in the machine room. At the same time, clean, lubricate or oil seal each lubrication part. During storage, areas where protective paint has peeled off should be promptly painted for rust prevention.
3. Anti deformation and decay: Improper storage of various transmission belts can easily cause mold or deformation. These products should be removed, wiped clean, and dried after use. They should be stored in a ventilated indoor area to prevent insect or rodent bites. After washing and drying all transmission chains with diesel or kerosene, soak them in engine oil for 15-40 minutes, or soak them overnight and remove them. When there is no more oil dripping, apply lubricating oil, wrap them in kraft paper, and place them in a ventilated and dry place.
4. The rubber and plastic products on the anti-aging harvester are prone to aging and deterioration due to exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays, with poor elasticity and easy breakage. Therefore, for the storage of rubber parts, hot paraffin oil should be applied to the surface of the rubber and placed indoors in a ventilated, dry, and sun free area.
5. Anti plastic deformation springs, transmission belts, cutterbars, tires, etc. can undergo plastic deformation due to long-term stress or improper placement. For this, some places require support. If the supporting tire is not subjected to pressure load, the pressure spring should be relaxed, the transmission belt should be removed and stored separately, and the long blade should be removed and placed flat or vertically hung.
6. To prevent the loss of small parts, randomly used cutting tools, measuring tools, and fixtures, especially special tools and various spare parts, should be registered and kept by a dedicated person. After use, they should be returned to their original location. Do not leave them randomly after use, and be anxious when using them again. In addition, livestock batteries should be removed and stored separately using intermittent charging and water injection or dry storage methods.
